Oscar Wilde "The Picture of Dorian Gray".
An easy to read book. I would advise it to lower intermediate learners.

Edgar Allan Poe. The Cask of Amontillado
Quite hard to read a book. Advisable for advanced learners.

Re: What is the latest book you have read recently?
The latest book I read was Fall of Giants by Ken Follett. In the last months I read three books from the same author: The Pillars of the Earth and World Without End. The Trilogy of Millenium by Stieg Larsson was in my hands not long ago.
All of them totally recommended.

Re: What is the latest book you have read recently?
I've read all of them except Fall of the Giants, which I'm expecting to read soon. Is it as good as The Pillars of the Earth?ArnauEstanyol wrote:The latest book I read was Fall of Giants by Ken Follett.

Happy to read you again.
Fall of the Giants is a recommendable book, but, sincerely I prefer The Pillars of the Earth, even World Without End!!!. Fall of the Giants lacks the depth and definition of the characters that Ken Follett gave to the Pillars of the Earth.
By the other hand, all what I say is my personal opinion. You know this is very subjective.
Bye!!

Well, I absolutely loved The Pillars of the Earth but didn't enjoy World Without End as much. I think Fall of the Giants won't be any better, so I won't hurry to get it. I will read it eventually some time.ArnauEstanyol wrote: Hi

Has you seen The Pillars of the Earth on television?
If your answer is affirmative, what's your opinion?
About Larsson: Is a pity he died. We lost a great writer that we have known too late.

I didn't see it on TV; I directly downloaded it and burned it into DVDs. I usually do that with TV series and watch them comfortably from my couch.ArnauEstanyol wrote:

Oh, great!! It's exactly what I do with the movies I like. But as you, I prefer a good book than a film, mainly because it's very difficult express the history of a book into a movie. All movies I've saw based upon a success book it has been, for me, a disappointment. The first film I saw based in a book was "The fourth Protocol" written by Frederick Forsyth, one of the my favourites writers. Once read the novel, the film sucks. Other example is the Millenium trilogy: the books very good, but the films....
I want thank you for your kindness. Excuse my spelling mistakes...
Merry Christmas an VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

Re: What is the latest book you have read recently?
I am rereading: One, No one and One hundred Thousand by Luigi Pirandello.
I advise you to read it.
It can help to understand how we often understimate other people and don't become aware of what other really think of us.
